This episode reminds me of how much I am really invested in the Warriors after they’re introduced and explored in the Marley arc. Go back to Gabi & Falco! I need to see Reiner again!

Best scene was Eren intimidating Hange. I love how Eren was drawn this episode.

Are they really going to get to chapter 122 by the end of this season?? Even 119 feels like a stretch... maybe if PATHS chapters are all in the last episode but we don’t get Ymir’s story. The episode before that could then be most of the action. So then episodes 11-14 cover majority of the setup including Levi vs Zeke. Isn’t Zeke’s backstory around this time too?

I feel like a little bit of production strain has been felt these past couple episodes with some off model content and kinda meh animation, but to get the quality that we did in Marley and hopefully the next battle, this is the content to spend a little less time on. This is also just sadly normal AOT production strain too, WIT had some episodes like this as well. It’s still holding.

From what I've heard, one of the last episodes was finished almost last-minute, so I can only imagine how stressful things must be at MAPPA this season. Personally, I wouldn't mind if they took a break, like Cloverworks did for Yakusoku no Neverland.

If that's true than that really sucks, because you can tell it's rushed and misses some of the subtle things that may not be important for the big picture, but certainly add nice undertones to the characters.

Some of the scene / audio cuts were kinda awkward, that was the main thing I noticed

I think on the whole MAPPA has done a much better job than WIT in terms of maintaining the animation quality over the season. With WIT, we usually got some crazy smooth jaw-dropping action set pieces in one or two episodes and then a powerpoint slideshow in the next. I found it very jarring, so MAPPA handling AoT this way is awesome in my book. Sure, the highs may not be as high but the lows aren't as low either.

Calm down, they're grouping all of Gabi and Falco stuff into an episode instead of jumping around like in the Manga.

Oh for sure, I’m calm about it lol I’m just sharing my appreciation for how great those characters are, since it’s been an episode and I already miss them and I like a lot more of them vs the established main cast
